I've had the very good fortune to run across this collection of books. A couple of years ago I got the "Boccaccio's Decameron" then a couple months later I got the "Tres Riches Heures". I was pleased when I realized they were from a series of books. When I got "Gaston Phoebus's Hunting Book" I was hooked. I must have them all (that and they're really very cool).

They're published by "Crescent Books", "Crown Publishers, Inc." or "Miller Graphics". So if you know of any other books that match this series, please, let me know at sylvie@fibergeek.com.

In the meantime, here's the books I've gotten so far.
